A thick mist fell on October 5. The passing was dangerous to continue without exterior assistance. It was of primary importance for some expedition participants to reach the settlement of Yara-Yakha to inquire about a helicopter schedule to Vorkuta. It was initially planned that several participants would fly to Moscow from Naryan-Mar, but Kartesh was delayed by bad weather conditions, and they had to stick to an alternative option.

​

The vessel Dunay came to assisst Kartesh through the unpenetrable shroud of mist. Expedition participants successfully  reached Yara-Yakha and after several days got to Vorkuta by a helicopter to fly to Moscow afterwards.
